An nffiiCtinR instance of the power of a timely appeal to reason occurs in the life of Cowper, whose great genius, it is well known, was often overshadowed with religious despondency. In the account lie gives of a conversation he had with his brother, who visited him at Dr. Cotton's, he says "as soon as we were left alone, my brother asked me how I found myself. I answered, 'as much better as despair could make me.' We went together into the garden. Here, on my expressing a settled assurance of sudden judgement, he protested to me that it was all a delusion, and protested so strongly, that I could not helo eivin'' some attention to him. I burst into tears and cried out, 'If it be a delusion, then I m nnn of tha hanoiest of beings!' Something like a rav of hone was shot into my heart, but mill I was afraid to indulge it." The dawn of hone, which this conversation introduced, in creased, till the floom of despondency was in a great measure dispelled. Sunooso Cowper in that morbid stato of ex citement and sensitiveness to which he was so subject, had been withdrawn from the cheerlul scenes of the parlor, nnd from the kindly ex. pressions of sympathy and affection, and had been handed over to rude treatment and stern command, and violent restraint, how long would his trembling mind have endured the shock? Reason would undoubtedly have been entirely dethroned; the light o( intellect would have been totallv extinguished, and he would havo died a ravinr maniac, in the cells of a mad-house. No common decree of delicacy and discrimination is requisite, to lead a refined and well cultivated mind, 'from the chaos and darkness of insanity to the order and the light of intelligence.' The highly excited and susceptiblo mind must be soothed bv mildnessand tenderness. The first in dications of convalesence should be watched with solicitude, and cherished with unwearied kindness and care. It is a difficult and delicate task, "to superintend with ease and without offending, to controll without severity, and to indulge with-out weakness; to attract without fiitiguing the attention, to revive the memory without reviving memoriuls of afflictions, to touch the imagination but not too sensibly, and to encourage ut favor-bale moments to such comparisons as may triumph over retreating delusions." The situation of the insane, is, in this coun-irv in manv cases, deplorable in the extreme. With the exception of Massachusetts, no State has made effectual legislative provision for its insane poor, and the Tew institutions wlucn private benevolence has provided, are necessarily verv limited in the rebel whicn they aitoru, Massachusetts is the only State, which has reeled an assylum for these untortunate be ings. In most of the States, the lunatics aro either wandering at large, the subjects of in ult and derision, from the young nnd the degra ded, or confined in poor-houses nnd prisons. The seventh Report of the London Prison Discipline Society contains the following just reflections unon this subiect. "There is not upon earth a moro affecting nectacle than an imprisoned lunatic. In view ing the ordiuary inmutes of a goal, our sense of pity is in some degree counteracted by a feeling of justice; but in the criminal luna'.ic we behold an object of unmixed conipussion an irresponsible agent suffering under punishment a sufferer from disease the most terrible, without the means which can alone contribute to his cure. Under circumstances the most fuvorable to recovery. when mitigated by all that skill can dictate or kindness can suggest how awful are the maladies of mind! Oihcr evils admit ol re. lief from the promises of religion, the approba. tionof conscience, and the consolations of friend shin: but the lunatic is estranged from every comfort, by which man is sustained in the hour of affliction; and if, as in tho treatment of the criminal and pauper insane, the miseries of dis ease be aggravated by indigence and neglect, then is the measure of human calamity indeed full. "In a prison, the lunatic receives no medical aid adapted to his condition. Ho is usually con fined with, and for the most part treated as other prisoners; and he is too frequently the object of Violence ana sport to llio Druiai anu uepraveu. Those circumstances inevitably strengthen tho excitement of his feelings, and tho alienation of l.ia m'mA' nnrl ii in vprv rnrn that imnrisonmcnt fails to prolong his disorder and perpetuato his sufferings during life. Obvious as is tho cruelty of such treatment, it becomes still more appnrent by the fact, thut an early attention to menial disease, affurds the most certain, and in many cases, the only means of cure. The experience of the best regulated asylums abundantly proves that, under proper care, in the first stages of the disorder, a very large majority of lunatics are restored to society; nnd it is equally certain that when the disease has been at first neglec ted or improperly treated, a very large prnpor- tion become incurable. As a proof of this fact it may not be uninteresting to state, that of forty-ven patients admitted into the retreat at York, within three months from the commencement of the first attack, forty were restored to their friends, recovered; and of the remaining seven, three died so soon after admission, and of complaints under which they labored at tho time thnv entered, as hardly to allow of tho opportu. nity of recovery. Of the cases of persons, in this establishment, who, before their admission had been afflicted for a period exceeding three months, and within twelve months, the propor tion of cures appears to be as twenty-five to forty-five; and of those where the disease was of more than two years standing, tho proportion is as fourteen to sevonty-nine. The researches of the American Prison Dis cipline Society have brought to light scenes of suffering, which it was little imagined could bo found in this enlightened land. Many of the insane were found imprisoned with the vilest ofl the vile, and exposed without tne power ot redress to the ridicule and the abuse of these who have forgotten mercy. Others were found in cold and nakedness upon the damp floor of our darkest dungeons, with hardly a solitary comfort to beguile their hours of woe. The imugin-ation can with difficulty conceive the amount of suffering, to which these unfortunate yet inno. cent creutures were exposed. A young clergyman who became deranged, was found in Bridewell in the common receptacle of theoff-scouring of the earth. How acute must be the suffer-ing which a refined and sensitive mind must endure, in being cast into such an haunt of degradation, impiety and crime. In Massachusetts, thirty lunatics were found in Prison. Ono was found in a cheerless cell, without clothing, without u bed, and without even a benih upon which to rest his weary limbs. In his dulerium he had twisted a wreath of rags around his neck, and another around his waist. A heap of filthy straw in one corner of the room, marked the place where he was accustomed to throw down iiis naked and long neglected person for rest. In this situation, friendless, coinpanionlcss, comfortless, he had worn away nine weary years. Oh who can tell what daya, what nisjits he spent, Of tideless, saillC8St wavcles,, shoreless wo." In one Prison five lunatics were found in sep. arate dungeons, gloomy and damp. When the door was opened, it was so dark that with difficulty could the wretched inmute bo distinguish, cd. When the visitors entered, the fetid odor was so strong as to drive them back almost vomiting. How is it possible that in such n scene of gloom nnd filth, the shattered intellect should be cherished und restored. "In one prison in which were ten lunntics, two were found about seventy years of age, a male and a femnle in the same apartment of an upper story. 1 he lomule was lying on a heap of straw, under a broken window. Tho snow in a severe storm was beating through the window, and lay upon the straw around her withered body which was partially covered with a few filthy and tattered garments, lhe man was lying in a corner of the room in a similar situa tion, except that he was less exposed to the storm. The former had been in this apartment six, and the latter twenty-ono years. One poor lunatic was found in an apartment which he had occupied eight years, leaving it hut twice during thut period. For eighteen months the doorof his room had not been opened His food was handed him through a small orifice. No fire warmed his dreary apartment, and cold and suffering had so disfigured his appearance that you could hardly deem him human. This world is the theatre ol many heart-rend ing scenes, liut ono there is, "The saddest seen In Time: A man to-day, tho glory of his kind, in reason clear, in undemanding large, In judgement sound, in fancy quick, in hope Abundant, and in promise, like a Held Well cultured, and refreshed with dews from God; To-rorrow, chained, and raving mad, and whipped By servile hands; sitting on dismal straw, And gnashing with his tcetli against the chain, The iron chain that bound him hand and foot; And trying whiles to send his glaring eye Beyond the wide circumference of his wo; Or humbling more, more miserable still, Giving an idiot laugh, that served to show The blasted scenery of his horrid (ace; Calling the straw his sceptre, and the stone. On which he pinioned sat, his royal throne. Toor, poor, poor man! fallen far lielow tho brutel His reason strove in vain, to ilnd her way, Lost in the stormy desert of Ills brain; And being active still, she wrought all strange, Fantastic, execrable, monstrous things." But wo will no longer pain our readers by con tinuing the description of these sickening scenes ol sorrow. We turn to moro pleasing content plations. The development of these and similar fucts with regard to the condition ol the insane in this state, prepared tho way for tho erection of lhe Lunatic llospilul at Worcester. This Hospital is now filled with thoso who a few months since wero the tenuuts of the prison and the poor-house. The dungeons in which they have groaned for so many years are deserted. l he chains which had galled their flesh are now thrown aside. The darkness and filth and misery in which they dragged out their wretched existence are now exchanged for light and clean liness and comfort. The Hospital at Worcester is one of tho noblest of the muny institutions which adorn our country. 1 he building though erected upon principles of the strictest economy, is neat, spacious and airy, lis elevated situa tion affords a delightful view of the beautiful village in which it stands, nnd of the fertilo and highly cultivated lulls, with which it issurroun dud. Tho iinconfined breezes of summer en sure salubrity; while tho well warmctl apart incnis bid defiance to the cold of winter, and present nn nspect of cheerfulness nnd comfort which arc not diminished by the stormy blasts which occasionally sweep by. Tho main body of the building, which is four stories in height, is appropriated to tho families of the physician and tho steward, and also to dining-rooms for the pa-tients. Tho two wings, which are threo stories in height, contain the apartments of the patients. In each story a wide gallery runs through the wing, out of which doors open into the neat chambers, one of which is appropriated to each patient. Each chamber is furnished with a bed. stead, a comfortable- mattress and suitable bedding, nnd an immovable sent. A judicious clas. sificution has placed the idiotic insane in ono gal ery; tho noisily delirious in another, and those ly wallowing in filth, are now clean in person, comfortable in condition, orderly in conduct, and submissive to a system of mild but decided authority. The alleviation of their sufferings is ndescribable. One man, who had passed many weary years in a cold and dismal cell, without a bed, without a garment, without a coal to warm his shivering limbs, unwashed, unshaven is now an occupant of one of the comfortable chambers in the Hospital. Neat in appearance and comfortably clad, he could scarce be recog-nized as tho furious maniac he has exhibited himself in times past. Being ono day asked if he did not find his present situation more com- tortable than the one he had lelt, he replied with most emphatic utterance and gesture, "oh that was Hell, but this is Heaven." Another man had been for many years con. fined by the stone walls of a jail. His beard rested upon his breast. He had gone entirely naked until his skin resembled tanned leather, rather than human flesh. In the coldest nights of winter he went without fire, nnd without clothes. When food wus brought him, he invariably threw it on the ground floor of his dismal abode, and then consumed it with the adhering dirt. Loaded with chains, this wretch, ed maniac passed many years. His unearthly howls olten arrested the ullention ol the passer by, and not unfrequently the slumbers of lhe neighborhood were disturbed by his midnight shrieks. That man is now in the Hospital, washed, shaved and clothed. He has a neat chamber, a comfortable bed, and wholesome food. With propriety he takes his seat at lhe table with others for his customary meals. Is it asked, what has subdued the fury of this raging man? The answer is, kind treatment and skillful discipline. And it is our duty here to award the meed of praise to those conductors of the institution, who have sn soon elevated it above the most sanguine expectations of its most sanguine friends. The physician of the Hospital is peculiarly qualified for the difficult and responsible station lie holds. Mild, yet decided, commanding in personal appearance, yet conciliating confidence nnd affection, he moves among his patients their governor and their friend. He treats the insane, as they have not been accustomed to be treated, with tenderness and respect; and the order and harmony of lhe institution show, with what prudence and skill he controls their wayward minds. The neat ness which pervades every department from the garret to the cellar shows that lhe stewurd is no less laborious and skillful in the discharge of his appropriate duties. The State has cause for selfgratulation in view of the signal success of this benevolent enterprise, i his institution, sit ualed in the very heart of tho State, is one of its brightest ornaments, and speaks more loud ly thuu perhaps any oilier, ol the enlarged liberality and enlight-'iied benevolence of her hap py population, this tlo-spital will be uistru mental of reclaiming many from the dreadful malady with which they are afflicted, and res toring them to friends nnd homo; and the incu rably insane will in this find all those alleviu-lions of which their condition is susceptible. In various parts of our country private charity has erected lunatic asylums, which havo afford ed relief to many. But the accommodations of these institutions are limited, and the charge? to which the patients are necessarily exposed, shut out the great mass of the suffering poor. The Hospital at Worcester is the only one in our country, erected for those in friendlussness and poverty. Tho groans of the insane are no longer heard in our prisons. Our poor-houses no longer contain these unfortunate nnd sorrow. rut wrecks ol intellect. And we think that no Christian or patriot, can visit this institution without desiring that similar ones may soon adorn every btate in tho union. Let the phi Innthropists, of other States, but witness the al leviution of suffering which is exhibited in the asylum at Worcester, and they will give them selves no rest, till their own poor-houses and prisons have relinquished the suffering insane, to be placed in similar circumstances of comfort, Let the Christian who can feel the force of the sentiment, "I was sick, nnd in prison, nnd ye visited me, go through the galleries or this retreat, and his prayers will bo offered, and his heart will bo enlisted in endeavoring to achieve a similar triumph of benevolence, in whatever part of tho Union he may find his home. These institutions are tho triumphs which the spirit of tho Bible is effecting. The Saviour's golden rule, "do to others as ye would that oth ers should do to you." is extending in its influ ence through laws and customs. This spirit, wo trust, will ere long be diffused throughout tho globe, and poetry and truth shall no longer be united in the sentiment, Man's inhumanity to man, Makes countless thousands mourn. building of a ship, or the harpooning of a whale in Greenland, is proverbial. All trades and pro-fessions flourish alike, and ever will while urged to the goal of wealth and honor, by the force of yankee lortitude and zeal. All over the land it is so the New Englnnders are proud of their ships, and pumpkin pies, and wooden clocks, and parish schools the New Yorkers of their cities and steamboats, and canals the "West" of its enterprising population, mighty rivers, and "tall corn" the South of its glowing cli-mate, its love of liberty, the impetuous talent and high-toned chivalry of its sons. All are gratified with their lot nil feel their own grow, ing greatness, and are happy in the coming proipects. But there are none, whose existence whose hopes and fears are so intimately interwoven wit! the prosperity of the country, and the projagation of light and mental intelligence, as thoie engaged in newspaper publications.-They defend upon public approbation for success, and unlke the doings of many other professionals, ther whole sphere of action is an open one the light is upon it, and their faults plainly seen, thoib minute and trifling and too often the scrutinizing jealousy of enemies and rivals makes thtir path a thorny one, and subject to a thousand cifficulties and vexations which others know not of. Newsiapers are the heralds of public senti-ment Key carry the thoughts, feelings, and wishes olone community to ait others within the compact; and thus a brotherhood is kept alive winch makes our country "one and inseparable. The pubic taste is improved and the constant collision f mind, like the flint to the steel, unerringly ipplied, brings forth at every interchange, a resh fund of mental light, and urges on with ceaseless rapidity the speed of intelli gence and .he "march ol mind.

TRIAL BY JURY. There probably hat been no single institution that has to effectually tended to protect the rights of individuals, and to spread the princi ples of civil liberty, as the trial by Jury. It is the boastuf our own land, and the bulwark of freedom :n all really free countries. Hence, arbitrary men have ever assailed it; and the Hench, when composed of persons of this kind, has alivajs tried, either to break down or weaken its poiver, by encroaching upon its rights, or by elTorti to belittle its character and functions. Bigots, too, elsewhere, have followed in its faith, and havt lost no opportunity to show their hostility to the jury trial system, whenever it served to shield a victim from their unholy ar.d rancorous persecution. It is time for Jurymen to understand and to maintain their rights; and, as an encouragement to them, we publish the following relation of the conduct of an intrepid Juryman of Ireland. THE INTREPID JURYMAN. Extracted from the late publication, entitled 'An Excursion from Bidmouth, (in Dovershire,) to Chester By the Rev. Edmund Butcher. I cannot help congratulating our countrymen upon the inestimable value of trial by Jury. I have lately met a proof of its excellence, which ought not to be forgotten, A judge on the north western circuit in Ire land, tried a cause, in which much of the local consequence of the gentleman in the neighborhood was implicated. It was a landlord's pros ecution against one of bis tenants for assault and battery committed on the person of the prose cutor, by the defendant, in rescuing his only child, an innocent and beautiful girl, from personal violation. When the defendant was brought into the court, the prosecutor also appeared, and swore to every fact laid down in the indictment. J he poor defendant had no lawyer to tell his story; he pleaded his own cause effectually, and appealing to the judgment and the heart, the jury found biin not guilty. The judge was enraged, and told the jury they must go back and reconsider the matter; adding lie was astonished at their giving such an infamous verdict. The jury bowed, went back, and in a quarter of an hour returned, when the foreman, a venerable old man, thus addressed the bench. "My lord, in compliance with your advice, we went back to our room; but, as we found there not reason to alter our opinion or our verdict, we return it to you, in the same words as before, not guilty. We heard your lordship's reproof; but we do not accept it as applying to us. In dividuallv, and in our private capacities, it is true, we are insignificant men; wo claim noth ing, out of tins box, above the common regard due to our humble yet honest stations; but my lord, assembled here as a jury, we cannot be in sensible to the great importance of the office we now sustain. We feel glad that we are appoint ed, as you are by lhe law and lhe constitution, not only to act impartially between the king and his subjects, the offended and the offender, but to form the barrier of the people against lhe possible influence, prejudice or corruption of the bench; to which we do not wish to offer the smallest degree of disrespect, much less uf insult; we pay it the respect which one tribunal should pay another, fur the common honor of both. This jury did not accuse tho bench of partiality or oppression no, we look upon it as lhe sanctuary of truth and justice; still my lord, we cannot erase from our minds the records of our school books, lly them we were taught that kings and judges are but fallible mortals; and that llio aoal of justice has been polluted by a Trcssillian, a Scruggs and a Jeffreys." 1 lie judge frowned at taese words, but the intrepid jurur thus proceeded: "My lord, I am but a poor man, yet I am a free born subjoct, and a member of the constitution nay, I am now higher, for I am one of its representatives; I therefore claim for my fellow jurors liberty of speech." The judge here resumed hit complacency, and the orator continued hit address; "We have nothing to do, my lord, with your private character; in this place it is veiled by your official one; we know you here only in that of a judge; and as such we would respect you; yon know nothing or us, but at a jury, and in that situation, we look to you for reciprocal respect; we know of no man, however high bit titles or his rank, in whom the law or the constitution would warrant an unprovoked insult towards that tribunal, in which they hs-e vetted the dearest and mott valuable privilege! they possets. We tit here, my lord, tworn to give a verdict according to our consciences, and the betl of our judgmenti on the evidence before us. We have, in our minds, discharged our duty, at honest men. If we have erred, we are accountable, nnt to your lordthip, nor to the king who appointed you; but to a higher, the King of kingt." The bench wat dumb, the bar wat tilenl; astonishment and applause murmured through the crowd and the poor man ws discharged. From the Working Man's Advocate. THE KING SNAKE. There is a large species of speckled snake called by common usage in the southern states, the King Snake, perhaps because he is the most formidable enemy of the fatal rattlesnake, Il seems to be the chief object of his existence, to seek, to pursue and to destroy the latter whose retreats and presence are discoverable by the emission of a peculiar smell resembling that of the cucumber vine. The King Snake, to almost all other animals, is the most gentle and harmless of creatures; you may strike him, he shows no resentment, he hisses not, he turns not, nor docs he exhibit any terror or sluggishness, Drawn by the smell of the cucumber, he frequently enters gardens, but his appearance excites no alarm in any human being, that known he is the Kiog Snake; on the contrary, women and children will approach him, turn him about with a stick, and playfully annoy Mm, with perfect impunity; he is only tho relentless enem) of the Rattle Snake, whose strength and venom avail nothing against the activity and mode of attack of the King Snake, who is always victui in every combat. Yet the Rattle Snake is a terrible reptile. There is a peculiarity truly appalling in Unsound of his rattles, being unlike the noise ol any other creature, and when you hear it, even the first time, the true instinct of nature impresses on your quailing heart, that danger and death aro near. Never shall I forget one horrid event of my life! I was fishing in a southern lake one summer day when an unusual disposition to sleep affected me. I stuck the ends of my fishing rod in the bank of the lake, and sought a beautiful place of shade to enjoy repose. 1 laid myself on tho grass between two trees scarcely six feet apart from each other, my head resting against one, and my feet against the other. 1 slept. When 1 awoke, I turned on one side and perceived at some distance from me, two brilliant humid orbs, and instantly a tremulous, mingled sensation of an indefinable nature came upon mv faculties. Something of an in stinctive dictate, or impulse, counselled me to avert my looks, but then there was such an ab sorbing, wishful delight in gazing into eyes, that intently and mellingly gazed into mine, that even the tremulous pulsations of fear fixed my gaze, relaxed my frame, and i remained so fas cinated that I could see nothing but the most beautiful colors. In short I was so totally lust, so completely bewildered with commingled emo tions, that i was absolutely powerless, and 1 could not withdraw my gaze, nor even move. Suddenly, the melting eyeballs glared witl sparks of fire there was a movement I started from a dreamy state I taw a huge rattle snake its gaze was disturbed, and when I heard the hateful rattle sound, the full danger of my situ ation aroused me, and through all my frame, felt the extremity of terror; and just as I was on the point uf obeying a phrenzied impulse to rise and Ity, Uod ol heaven! 1 felt the deadly reptile, at I thought, coiling around my neck; 1 saw a part of his body I felt the shiny Bkin up on my neck, and the shiver or horror went thro every joint nnd member of my frame. Such a feeling ot agony! my eye balls filled with scorching fire first red next yellowish green. Oh there are moments of existence which involve the sensations of years, and when the whole detail of a thousand feelings scarcely occupy the brief space of a leisure thought. Nature could endure no more, and I lost all sense. At length I had the painful tingling sensation of returning life through my veins, and when in full consciousness I arose from the earth, I taw near me tranquilly and quietly a living King Snake, and farther off the lifeless length of a tremendous Rattle Snake. I sat upon a log and reflected, and I am now satisfied that the King Snake had crept over my neck to my rescue, there botng a large log on one side, and the lake on the other, so that his nearest route to his en emy was over my body, lint although my life was providentially preserved, yet the effects of that scene are the exhaustion of a great portion of y excitability, and the introduction of grey nairs a.-ia premature uuotiiiy, in an my powcrB of mind and body.

An nffiiCtinR instance of the power of a timely appeal to reason occurs in the life of Cowper, whose great genius, it is well known, was often overshadowed with religious despondency. In the account lie gives of a conversation he had with his brother, who visited him at Dr. Cotton's, he says "as soon as we were left alone, my brother asked me how I found myself. I answered, 'as much better as despair could make me.' We went together into the garden. Here, on my expressing a settled assurance of sudden judgement, he protested to me that it was all a delusion, and protested so strongly, that I could not helo eivin'' some attention to him. I burst into tears and cried out, 'If it be a delusion, then I m nnn of tha hanoiest of beings!' Something like a rav of hone was shot into my heart, but mill I was afraid to indulge it." The dawn of hone, which this conversation introduced, in creased, till the floom of despondency was in a great measure dispelled. Sunooso Cowper in that morbid stato of ex citement and sensitiveness to which he was so subject, had been withdrawn from the cheerlul scenes of the parlor, nnd from the kindly ex. pressions of sympathy and affection, and had been handed over to rude treatment and stern command, and violent restraint, how long would his trembling mind have endured the shock? Reason would undoubtedly have been entirely dethroned; the light o( intellect would have been totallv extinguished, and he would havo died a ravinr maniac, in the cells of a mad-house. No common decree of delicacy and discrimination is requisite, to lead a refined and well cultivated mind, 'from the chaos and darkness of insanity to the order and the light of intelligence.' The highly excited and susceptiblo mind must be soothed bv mildnessand tenderness. The first in dications of convalesence should be watched with solicitude, and cherished with unwearied kindness and care. It is a difficult and delicate task, "to superintend with ease and without offending, to controll without severity, and to indulge with-out weakness; to attract without fiitiguing the attention, to revive the memory without reviving memoriuls of afflictions, to touch the imagination but not too sensibly, and to encourage ut favor-bale moments to such comparisons as may triumph over retreating delusions." The situation of the insane, is, in this coun-irv in manv cases, deplorable in the extreme. With the exception of Massachusetts, no State has made effectual legislative provision for its insane poor, and the Tew institutions wlucn private benevolence has provided, are necessarily verv limited in the rebel whicn they aitoru, Massachusetts is the only State, which has reeled an assylum for these untortunate be ings. In most of the States, the lunatics aro either wandering at large, the subjects of in ult and derision, from the young nnd the degra ded, or confined in poor-houses nnd prisons. The seventh Report of the London Prison Discipline Society contains the following just reflections unon this subiect. "There is not upon earth a moro affecting nectacle than an imprisoned lunatic. In view ing the ordiuary inmutes of a goal, our sense of pity is in some degree counteracted by a feeling of justice; but in the criminal luna'.ic we behold an object of unmixed conipussion an irresponsible agent suffering under punishment a sufferer from disease the most terrible, without the means which can alone contribute to his cure. Under circumstances the most fuvorable to recovery. when mitigated by all that skill can dictate or kindness can suggest how awful are the maladies of mind! Oihcr evils admit ol re. lief from the promises of religion, the approba. tionof conscience, and the consolations of friend shin: but the lunatic is estranged from every comfort, by which man is sustained in the hour of affliction; and if, as in tho treatment of the criminal and pauper insane, the miseries of dis ease be aggravated by indigence and neglect, then is the measure of human calamity indeed full. "In a prison, the lunatic receives no medical aid adapted to his condition. Ho is usually con fined with, and for the most part treated as other prisoners; and he is too frequently the object of Violence ana sport to llio Druiai anu uepraveu. Those circumstances inevitably strengthen tho excitement of his feelings, and tho alienation of l.ia m'mA' nnrl ii in vprv rnrn that imnrisonmcnt fails to prolong his disorder and perpetuato his sufferings during life. Obvious as is tho cruelty of such treatment, it becomes still more appnrent by the fact, thut an early attention to menial disease, affurds the most certain, and in many cases, the only means of cure. The experience of the best regulated asylums abundantly proves that, under proper care, in the first stages of the disorder, a very large majority of lunatics are restored to society; nnd it is equally certain that when the disease has been at first neglec ted or improperly treated, a very large prnpor- tion become incurable. As a proof of this fact it may not be uninteresting to state, that of forty-ven patients admitted into the retreat at York, within three months from the commencement of the first attack, forty were restored to their friends, recovered; and of the remaining seven, three died so soon after admission, and of complaints under which they labored at tho time thnv entered, as hardly to allow of tho opportu. nity of recovery. Of the cases of persons, in this establishment, who, before their admission had been afflicted for a period exceeding three months, and within twelve months, the propor tion of cures appears to be as twenty-five to forty-five; and of those where the disease was of more than two years standing, tho proportion is as fourteen to sevonty-nine. The researches of the American Prison Dis cipline Society have brought to light scenes of suffering, which it was little imagined could bo found in this enlightened land. Many of the insane were found imprisoned with the vilest ofl the vile, and exposed without tne power ot redress to the ridicule and the abuse of these who have forgotten mercy. Others were found in cold and nakedness upon the damp floor of our darkest dungeons, with hardly a solitary comfort to beguile their hours of woe. The imugin-ation can with difficulty conceive the amount of suffering, to which these unfortunate yet inno. cent creutures were exposed. A young clergyman who became deranged, was found in Bridewell in the common receptacle of theoff-scouring of the earth. How acute must be the suffer-ing which a refined and sensitive mind must endure, in being cast into such an haunt of degradation, impiety and crime. In Massachusetts, thirty lunatics were found in Prison. Ono was found in a cheerless cell, without clothing, without u bed, and without even a benih upon which to rest his weary limbs. In his dulerium he had twisted a wreath of rags around his neck, and another around his waist. A heap of filthy straw in one corner of the room, marked the place where he was accustomed to throw down iiis naked and long neglected person for rest. In this situation, friendless, coinpanionlcss, comfortless, he had worn away nine weary years. Oh who can tell what daya, what nisjits he spent, Of tideless, saillC8St wavcles,, shoreless wo." In one Prison five lunatics were found in sep. arate dungeons, gloomy and damp. When the door was opened, it was so dark that with difficulty could the wretched inmute bo distinguish, cd. When the visitors entered, the fetid odor was so strong as to drive them back almost vomiting. How is it possible that in such n scene of gloom nnd filth, the shattered intellect should be cherished und restored. "In one prison in which were ten lunntics, two were found about seventy years of age, a male and a femnle in the same apartment of an upper story. 1 he lomule was lying on a heap of straw, under a broken window. Tho snow in a severe storm was beating through the window, and lay upon the straw around her withered body which was partially covered with a few filthy and tattered garments, lhe man was lying in a corner of the room in a similar situa tion, except that he was less exposed to the storm. The former had been in this apartment six, and the latter twenty-ono years. One poor lunatic was found in an apartment which he had occupied eight years, leaving it hut twice during thut period. For eighteen months the doorof his room had not been opened His food was handed him through a small orifice. No fire warmed his dreary apartment, and cold and suffering had so disfigured his appearance that you could hardly deem him human. This world is the theatre ol many heart-rend ing scenes, liut ono there is, "The saddest seen In Time: A man to-day, tho glory of his kind, in reason clear, in undemanding large, In judgement sound, in fancy quick, in hope Abundant, and in promise, like a Held Well cultured, and refreshed with dews from God; To-rorrow, chained, and raving mad, and whipped By servile hands; sitting on dismal straw, And gnashing with his tcetli against the chain, The iron chain that bound him hand and foot; And trying whiles to send his glaring eye Beyond the wide circumference of his wo; Or humbling more, more miserable still, Giving an idiot laugh, that served to show The blasted scenery of his horrid (ace; Calling the straw his sceptre, and the stone. On which he pinioned sat, his royal throne. Toor, poor, poor man! fallen far lielow tho brutel His reason strove in vain, to ilnd her way, Lost in the stormy desert of Ills brain; And being active still, she wrought all strange, Fantastic, execrable, monstrous things." But wo will no longer pain our readers by con tinuing the description of these sickening scenes ol sorrow. We turn to moro pleasing content plations. The development of these and similar fucts with regard to the condition ol the insane in this state, prepared tho way for tho erection of lhe Lunatic llospilul at Worcester. This Hospital is now filled with thoso who a few months since wero the tenuuts of the prison and the poor-house. The dungeons in which they have groaned for so many years are deserted. l he chains which had galled their flesh are now thrown aside. The darkness and filth and misery in which they dragged out their wretched existence are now exchanged for light and clean liness and comfort. The Hospital at Worcester is one of tho noblest of the muny institutions which adorn our country. 1 he building though erected upon principles of the strictest economy, is neat, spacious and airy, lis elevated situa tion affords a delightful view of the beautiful village in which it stands, nnd of the fertilo and highly cultivated lulls, with which it issurroun dud. Tho iinconfined breezes of summer en sure salubrity; while tho well warmctl apart incnis bid defiance to the cold of winter, and present nn nspect of cheerfulness nnd comfort which arc not diminished by the stormy blasts which occasionally sweep by. Tho main body of the building, which is four stories in height, is appropriated to tho families of the physician and tho steward, and also to dining-rooms for the pa-tients. Tho two wings, which are threo stories in height, contain the apartments of the patients. In each story a wide gallery runs through the wing, out of which doors open into the neat chambers, one of which is appropriated to each patient. Each chamber is furnished with a bed. stead, a comfortable- mattress and suitable bedding, nnd an immovable sent. A judicious clas. sificution has placed the idiotic insane in ono gal ery; tho noisily delirious in another, and those ly wallowing in filth, are now clean in person, comfortable in condition, orderly in conduct, and submissive to a system of mild but decided authority. The alleviation of their sufferings is ndescribable. One man, who had passed many weary years in a cold and dismal cell, without a bed, without a garment, without a coal to warm his shivering limbs, unwashed, unshaven is now an occupant of one of the comfortable chambers in the Hospital. Neat in appearance and comfortably clad, he could scarce be recog-nized as tho furious maniac he has exhibited himself in times past. Being ono day asked if he did not find his present situation more com- tortable than the one he had lelt, he replied with most emphatic utterance and gesture, "oh that was Hell, but this is Heaven." Another man had been for many years con. fined by the stone walls of a jail. His beard rested upon his breast. He had gone entirely naked until his skin resembled tanned leather, rather than human flesh. In the coldest nights of winter he went without fire, nnd without clothes. When food wus brought him, he invariably threw it on the ground floor of his dismal abode, and then consumed it with the adhering dirt. Loaded with chains, this wretch, ed maniac passed many years. His unearthly howls olten arrested the ullention ol the passer by, and not unfrequently the slumbers of lhe neighborhood were disturbed by his midnight shrieks. That man is now in the Hospital, washed, shaved and clothed. He has a neat chamber, a comfortable bed, and wholesome food. With propriety he takes his seat at lhe table with others for his customary meals. Is it asked, what has subdued the fury of this raging man? The answer is, kind treatment and skillful discipline. And it is our duty here to award the meed of praise to those conductors of the institution, who have sn soon elevated it above the most sanguine expectations of its most sanguine friends. The physician of the Hospital is peculiarly qualified for the difficult and responsible station lie holds. Mild, yet decided, commanding in personal appearance, yet conciliating confidence nnd affection, he moves among his patients their governor and their friend. He treats the insane, as they have not been accustomed to be treated, with tenderness and respect; and the order and harmony of lhe institution show, with what prudence and skill he controls their wayward minds. The neat ness which pervades every department from the garret to the cellar shows that lhe stewurd is no less laborious and skillful in the discharge of his appropriate duties. The State has cause for selfgratulation in view of the signal success of this benevolent enterprise, i his institution, sit ualed in the very heart of tho State, is one of its brightest ornaments, and speaks more loud ly thuu perhaps any oilier, ol the enlarged liberality and enlight-'iied benevolence of her hap py population, this tlo-spital will be uistru mental of reclaiming many from the dreadful malady with which they are afflicted, and res toring them to friends nnd homo; and the incu rably insane will in this find all those alleviu-lions of which their condition is susceptible. In various parts of our country private charity has erected lunatic asylums, which havo afford ed relief to many. But the accommodations of these institutions are limited, and the charge? to which the patients are necessarily exposed, shut out the great mass of the suffering poor. The Hospital at Worcester is the only one in our country, erected for those in friendlussness and poverty. Tho groans of the insane are no longer heard in our prisons. Our poor-houses no longer contain these unfortunate nnd sorrow. rut wrecks ol intellect. And we think that no Christian or patriot, can visit this institution without desiring that similar ones may soon adorn every btate in tho union. Let the phi Innthropists, of other States, but witness the al leviution of suffering which is exhibited in the asylum at Worcester, and they will give them selves no rest, till their own poor-houses and prisons have relinquished the suffering insane, to be placed in similar circumstances of comfort, Let the Christian who can feel the force of the sentiment, "I was sick, nnd in prison, nnd ye visited me, go through the galleries or this retreat, and his prayers will bo offered, and his heart will bo enlisted in endeavoring to achieve a similar triumph of benevolence, in whatever part of tho Union he may find his home. These institutions are tho triumphs which the spirit of tho Bible is effecting. The Saviour's golden rule, "do to others as ye would that oth ers should do to you." is extending in its influ ence through laws and customs. This spirit, wo trust, will ere long be diffused throughout tho globe, and poetry and truth shall no longer be united in the sentiment, Man's inhumanity to man, Makes countless thousands mourn. building of a ship, or the harpooning of a whale in Greenland, is proverbial. All trades and pro-fessions flourish alike, and ever will while urged to the goal of wealth and honor, by the force of yankee lortitude and zeal. All over the land it is so the New Englnnders are proud of their ships, and pumpkin pies, and wooden clocks, and parish schools the New Yorkers of their cities and steamboats, and canals the "West" of its enterprising population, mighty rivers, and "tall corn" the South of its glowing cli-mate, its love of liberty, the impetuous talent and high-toned chivalry of its sons. All are gratified with their lot nil feel their own grow, ing greatness, and are happy in the coming proipects. But there are none, whose existence whose hopes and fears are so intimately interwoven wit! the prosperity of the country, and the projagation of light and mental intelligence, as thoie engaged in newspaper publications.-They defend upon public approbation for success, and unlke the doings of many other professionals, ther whole sphere of action is an open one the light is upon it, and their faults plainly seen, thoib minute and trifling and too often the scrutinizing jealousy of enemies and rivals makes thtir path a thorny one, and subject to a thousand cifficulties and vexations which others know not of. Newsiapers are the heralds of public senti-ment Key carry the thoughts, feelings, and wishes olone community to ait others within the compact; and thus a brotherhood is kept alive winch makes our country "one and inseparable. The pubic taste is improved and the constant collision f mind, like the flint to the steel, unerringly ipplied, brings forth at every interchange, a resh fund of mental light, and urges on with ceaseless rapidity the speed of intelli gence and .he "march ol mind.

TRIAL BY JURY. There probably hat been no single institution that has to effectually tended to protect the rights of individuals, and to spread the princi ples of civil liberty, as the trial by Jury. It is the boastuf our own land, and the bulwark of freedom :n all really free countries. Hence, arbitrary men have ever assailed it; and the Hench, when composed of persons of this kind, has alivajs tried, either to break down or weaken its poiver, by encroaching upon its rights, or by elTorti to belittle its character and functions. Bigots, too, elsewhere, have followed in its faith, and havt lost no opportunity to show their hostility to the jury trial system, whenever it served to shield a victim from their unholy ar.d rancorous persecution. It is time for Jurymen to understand and to maintain their rights; and, as an encouragement to them, we publish the following relation of the conduct of an intrepid Juryman of Ireland. THE INTREPID JURYMAN. Extracted from the late publication, entitled 'An Excursion from Bidmouth, (in Dovershire,) to Chester By the Rev. Edmund Butcher. I cannot help congratulating our countrymen upon the inestimable value of trial by Jury. I have lately met a proof of its excellence, which ought not to be forgotten, A judge on the north western circuit in Ire land, tried a cause, in which much of the local consequence of the gentleman in the neighborhood was implicated. It was a landlord's pros ecution against one of bis tenants for assault and battery committed on the person of the prose cutor, by the defendant, in rescuing his only child, an innocent and beautiful girl, from personal violation. When the defendant was brought into the court, the prosecutor also appeared, and swore to every fact laid down in the indictment. J he poor defendant had no lawyer to tell his story; he pleaded his own cause effectually, and appealing to the judgment and the heart, the jury found biin not guilty. The judge was enraged, and told the jury they must go back and reconsider the matter; adding lie was astonished at their giving such an infamous verdict. The jury bowed, went back, and in a quarter of an hour returned, when the foreman, a venerable old man, thus addressed the bench. "My lord, in compliance with your advice, we went back to our room; but, as we found there not reason to alter our opinion or our verdict, we return it to you, in the same words as before, not guilty. We heard your lordship's reproof; but we do not accept it as applying to us. In dividuallv, and in our private capacities, it is true, we are insignificant men; wo claim noth ing, out of tins box, above the common regard due to our humble yet honest stations; but my lord, assembled here as a jury, we cannot be in sensible to the great importance of the office we now sustain. We feel glad that we are appoint ed, as you are by lhe law and lhe constitution, not only to act impartially between the king and his subjects, the offended and the offender, but to form the barrier of the people against lhe possible influence, prejudice or corruption of the bench; to which we do not wish to offer the smallest degree of disrespect, much less uf insult; we pay it the respect which one tribunal should pay another, fur the common honor of both. This jury did not accuse tho bench of partiality or oppression no, we look upon it as lhe sanctuary of truth and justice; still my lord, we cannot erase from our minds the records of our school books, lly them we were taught that kings and judges are but fallible mortals; and that llio aoal of justice has been polluted by a Trcssillian, a Scruggs and a Jeffreys." 1 lie judge frowned at taese words, but the intrepid jurur thus proceeded: "My lord, I am but a poor man, yet I am a free born subjoct, and a member of the constitution nay, I am now higher, for I am one of its representatives; I therefore claim for my fellow jurors liberty of speech." The judge here resumed hit complacency, and the orator continued hit address; "We have nothing to do, my lord, with your private character; in this place it is veiled by your official one; we know you here only in that of a judge; and as such we would respect you; yon know nothing or us, but at a jury, and in that situation, we look to you for reciprocal respect; we know of no man, however high bit titles or his rank, in whom the law or the constitution would warrant an unprovoked insult towards that tribunal, in which they hs-e vetted the dearest and mott valuable privilege! they possets. We tit here, my lord, tworn to give a verdict according to our consciences, and the betl of our judgmenti on the evidence before us. We have, in our minds, discharged our duty, at honest men. If we have erred, we are accountable, nnt to your lordthip, nor to the king who appointed you; but to a higher, the King of kingt." The bench wat dumb, the bar wat tilenl; astonishment and applause murmured through the crowd and the poor man ws discharged. From the Working Man's Advocate. THE KING SNAKE. There is a large species of speckled snake called by common usage in the southern states, the King Snake, perhaps because he is the most formidable enemy of the fatal rattlesnake, Il seems to be the chief object of his existence, to seek, to pursue and to destroy the latter whose retreats and presence are discoverable by the emission of a peculiar smell resembling that of the cucumber vine. The King Snake, to almost all other animals, is the most gentle and harmless of creatures; you may strike him, he shows no resentment, he hisses not, he turns not, nor docs he exhibit any terror or sluggishness, Drawn by the smell of the cucumber, he frequently enters gardens, but his appearance excites no alarm in any human being, that known he is the Kiog Snake; on the contrary, women and children will approach him, turn him about with a stick, and playfully annoy Mm, with perfect impunity; he is only tho relentless enem) of the Rattle Snake, whose strength and venom avail nothing against the activity and mode of attack of the King Snake, who is always victui in every combat. Yet the Rattle Snake is a terrible reptile. There is a peculiarity truly appalling in Unsound of his rattles, being unlike the noise ol any other creature, and when you hear it, even the first time, the true instinct of nature impresses on your quailing heart, that danger and death aro near. Never shall I forget one horrid event of my life! I was fishing in a southern lake one summer day when an unusual disposition to sleep affected me. I stuck the ends of my fishing rod in the bank of the lake, and sought a beautiful place of shade to enjoy repose. 1 laid myself on tho grass between two trees scarcely six feet apart from each other, my head resting against one, and my feet against the other. 1 slept. When 1 awoke, I turned on one side and perceived at some distance from me, two brilliant humid orbs, and instantly a tremulous, mingled sensation of an indefinable nature came upon mv faculties. Something of an in stinctive dictate, or impulse, counselled me to avert my looks, but then there was such an ab sorbing, wishful delight in gazing into eyes, that intently and mellingly gazed into mine, that even the tremulous pulsations of fear fixed my gaze, relaxed my frame, and i remained so fas cinated that I could see nothing but the most beautiful colors. In short I was so totally lust, so completely bewildered with commingled emo tions, that i was absolutely powerless, and 1 could not withdraw my gaze, nor even move. Suddenly, the melting eyeballs glared witl sparks of fire there was a movement I started from a dreamy state I taw a huge rattle snake its gaze was disturbed, and when I heard the hateful rattle sound, the full danger of my situ ation aroused me, and through all my frame, felt the extremity of terror; and just as I was on the point uf obeying a phrenzied impulse to rise and Ity, Uod ol heaven! 1 felt the deadly reptile, at I thought, coiling around my neck; 1 saw a part of his body I felt the shiny Bkin up on my neck, and the shiver or horror went thro every joint nnd member of my frame. Such a feeling ot agony! my eye balls filled with scorching fire first red next yellowish green. Oh there are moments of existence which involve the sensations of years, and when the whole detail of a thousand feelings scarcely occupy the brief space of a leisure thought. Nature could endure no more, and I lost all sense. At length I had the painful tingling sensation of returning life through my veins, and when in full consciousness I arose from the earth, I taw near me tranquilly and quietly a living King Snake, and farther off the lifeless length of a tremendous Rattle Snake. I sat upon a log and reflected, and I am now satisfied that the King Snake had crept over my neck to my rescue, there botng a large log on one side, and the lake on the other, so that his nearest route to his en emy was over my body, lint although my life was providentially preserved, yet the effects of that scene are the exhaustion of a great portion of y excitability, and the introduction of grey nairs a.-ia premature uuotiiiy, in an my powcrB of mind and body.
